Great work!

Ecco l'occhio che mi manca, a te non fa difetto
Giuseppe, un altro bellissimo scatto,belli anche i colori ed il gioco delle ombre...
Scusa è una lumaca quella che galleggia???non le avevo mai viste sull'acqua.
Ciao

Giuseppe, amazing photograph, so simple and bold! I like the strong shapes defined by lilipads and shadows. The snail is a bonus point of interest! The dark upper right and the snail in the lower left seem to anchor the composition. The blue/green tones add a surreal abstract element.

Another brilliant composition! Fabulous light, colours and shapes; it almost looks too good to be true! Congrats GG!

You managed to create a surreal effect here, Giuseppe! Everything seems floating between light and shadow, and at the same time there is so much balance.You are a PAINTER here, no longer a photographer! My compliments!

..incredibile sembra quasi dipinta questa immagine..mi piace la tonalità blu che domina l'immagine..un'altra magica macro :)


Giuseppe Guadagno   {K:33980} 7/26/2006
Maurizio non è una normale lumaca, ma una lumaca d'acqua. Se guardi bene lateralmente si vede il bocchettone che le serve per respirare nell'acqua.
Grazie.
Ciao Maurizio.

How did I miss this one before? It is a very beautiful and unusual photo, Giuseppe!


Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:97569} 7/30/2006
It is my second best of this group of four! A wonderful image, but also one that puzzles me very much! Is that snail moving upon the leaf, or is it swimming? It looks just as if doesn't touch the leaf at all. I never saw something like that before!

The image itself is very nice. The only thing that disrupts my eyes is that bit of "silvery layer" over the image, because it prevents me from being able to see better if the snail swims or not.

Ciao and keep it up!


Giuseppe Guadagno   {K:33980} 7/30/2006
Nick your puzzle is probably due to the fact that we think to a snail as a terrestrial animal. But you saw an aquatic snail with her breathing mouth sideaway. The image is composed by four levels and the snail is swimming in the third, casting her shade on the last leaf.
Sorry for your headache!
Thanks.

Giuseppe

Excellent lines..tones, shadow, composition..u r the friend of nature..great jop my friend..
very well done


Annemette Rosenborg Eriksen   {K:55401} 8/9/2006
This is such a magical photo due to the layers of waterlilies, their "veins" that can be seen, the beautiful light and colours and the special snail moving about in the water. A very nice shot!
Best wishes,
Annemette


Nick Karagiaouroglou   {K:97569} 8/11/2006
Oh no, nothing to be sorry, Giuseppe! Hey, I am a scientist! Headaches are my life! ;-)

Thank you very much for the explanations. I was really excited to know that there are swimming snails out there! I have seen often snails in the sea but they were always "going" on rocks under the water. I have never seen one swimming and that's why I am excited! Another astonishment for me about nature and life!

Cheers,

Nick


Giuseppe Guadagno   {K:33980} 8/11/2006
Thanks Annemette, I am glad that you like the picture. I made a tour in your beautiful home and saw many an many good, interesting photos made of fancy and exitement for beauty. I really enjoyed the visit.
Thanks again.
Have a pleasant weekend.

Giuseppe
